If you have SSSS it won’t let you check in, you will have to go to the counter.

But you should see the SSSS if you check in online, right?

Used to airline on paid tickets 4 times a month when 91K,
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. SSSS. (one-way trips, bought day of travel). I would walk up to the TSA guy and go: "male assist, no alarm", while handing him over my boarding card. Went over REALLY well with them...

As a passenger, the mobile app will tell you need to use a kiosk, and the kiosk will print the SSSS pass. Not sure if it's the same for a SB pass.

And those “honchos” would be idiots. The soft spot is the FA and ramp and gate agents that were wall mart greeters a month prior. I already have control of the plane!!!! It’s maddening

I am the deadly weapon! I don’t have to smuggle anything in. It’s crazy.

Nice to know that's what you think of fellow crew members whose butts are on the plane, same as you!
I agree about rampers, gate agents and any other airport employee with no skin in the game.

BTW, I've never been a Walmart greeter or flipped a burger.
